- The whole thing with so many people empathising with ‘The Office’ has made me aware of how people aren’t doing jobs they love, aren’t living a life they love. Which I find devastating.
- For me, when I go to bed at night, I am happy that I haven’t hurt someone. And if I think I have, I will rectify it. I now refuse to give someone permission to make me feel bad about myself. They can’t make me feel bad about myself if I don’t allow it.
- Horror is my favorite genre, but there have been a few horror movies that have properly scared me and that I don’t jump back in to watch over and over.
- Before Ricky Gervais came along, I was a jobbing actress and perfectly content if a little unfulfilled: I’d just done an advert for Imodium. That year, 1999, I auditioned for four parts. ‘The Office’ was the only one I got. What its success gave me was freedom of choice.
- I have never fancied or been attracted to a man on first meeting him.
- We’re always trying to say things are right or wrong, bad or good. If we just chilled out, maybe things wouldn’t be so hard.
- I’m the oldest of four children, and when I was young, I used to get the blackboard out and make my brothers and sisters sit in front of me while I taught class. They all thought I wanted to be a teacher, but I didn’t. I was impersonating my teachers.
- I have friends who don’t even know I’m diabetic. I don’t hide it, but it’s the last thing I need to tell someone. I take my insulin with every meal and have kidney drugs twice a day, but that is, like, habit. That’s how I deal with it.
- I love shutting my front door and being at home with just my dog and me. That’s when I’m happiest.
- I met some lifelong friends doing ‘The Archers.’
- I’ll watch something like ‘Paranormal Activity,’ ‘The Shining,’ or ‘Rosemary’s Baby,’ and I love them, but then I watch ‘The People Under the Stairs’ or ‘Candyman,’ and they freak me out. It’s weird because I don’t where the line is. I don’t know what that means. I don’t know what I should watch and what I shouldn’t.
- I personally love the U.S. ‘Office.’ I know some of it by heart.
- I was fortunate to have had a lively, happy childhood, but somewhere along the way I convinced myself I wasn’t wanted anywhere or by anyone if I wasn’t thin.
- I have been very lucky — all the jobs I’ve done have been with lovely people. In fact, I’ve been on many where I’ve just laughed uncontrollably the whole time.
- I came to the realisation, rather late in the day, that whatever your body’s meant to be, it will figure itself out.
- I struggle because I love food and sometimes I can’t stop eating.
- I have come a long way and learnt a lot. I read this quote about a year ago: ‘Happiness must not be pursued; it must ensue.’ It’s made me realise that just being married again or something like that won’t make me happy; the happiness ensues from how we live our lives.
- The joy I get from work is just huge.
- I’ve been so lucky in all my jobs. I just, you know, when you hear nightmare stories of other jobs — which I’m sure are true, but I’ve been lucky and never experienced them.
- I’m annoyingly optimistic.
